Sometimes the signal strength on a wireless router is weak because of interference. Some things that can interfere with a signal include walls and televisions. If the signal for your wireless router is weak, you can change the channel for the router and try to find one with a stronger signal. If you have a Belkin Wireless G Router, it takes only a little time to change the wireless channel.
